As to your comments regarding the o/p transformer & headroom, I don't think you will get more headroom. You will get more output level, which may mean the transformer saturates earlier.
More output= more headroom; You need less makeup for same output so headroom will increase.
It's not the transformer you hear saturating I think when you push it to the limit. I hear tube saturation

Replace the UTC A-10 with a Jensen JT-11P-1.
Replace the UTC A-24 with a Jensen JT-10K61-1M

But normally my console's fader are some where at -7 dB when I mix. Lead vocals are always more up. If I would put the lead vocal fader on 0dB with my Tubetech CL1B and give accordingly make up on the compressor nothing is wrong. I have more than clean gain free. But on the LA2a, I put the console fader to +7 dB and set the make up gain on the LA2a. If I would do the same way as with the Tubetech I have some distortion. Nice pleasant distortion that's true, but you don't always want that.
